* UpToEleven: In her music video to the song ''Ashes'', SelfDemonstrating/{{Deadpool}} tells her the song is ''[[SelfDeprecation too good]]'' for his [[Film/Deadpool2 trashy superhero sequel]] and she should phone it in more - "You're at like, an eleven, we need to get you down to a five, five and a half tops." Celine's response? "This thing ''only'' goes to eleven, so ''beat it'', Spider-Man!"

Her first American hit song was "Where Does My Heart Beat Now?" and she attracted even more attention through her Oscar- and Grammy-winning theme song to Disney's ''[[Film/BeautyAndTheBeast 1991 Beauty and the Beast]]'', but it was a [[BreakthroughHit pair of movie themes]] later in the '90s that made her a true household name: "Because You Loved Me" (from ''Up Close and Personal'') and "My Heart Will Go On" (''Film/{{Titanic 1997}}'').

Céline Marie Claudette Dion (born March 30, 1968) is one of the most popular [[CanadaEh Canadian]] singers of all time. Born in [[UsefulNotes/{{Quebec}} Quebec]], ''the'' Canadian province whose majority of populace speak French[[note]]Canadian French, that is. It has evolved in a different direction compared to European French[[/note]]. Thus, she spent her early years speaking and singing French. Met her future husband, music manager René Angélil in 1981, who remained her manager ever since (although he officially stepped down as his health deteriorated). Started singing English in the late 1980s and released her first English album in 1990, but until present day she still sings in both French and English and has recorded in several other languages, including Spanish and even Japanese. Married René in 1994 and lived happily together along with three sons despite [[MayDecemberRomance the two's age difference]] until René passing due to throat cancer on January 14, 2016, 21 years into their marriage.

** ''ComicStrip/FoxTrot'' has used her as a Butt Monkey on a few occasions. In one strip, Jason posts on the Internet a false rumor that the new ''Franchise/StarWars'' movie will include a Celine Dion ballad over the opening credits in surround sound, his aim being to keep fans out of the theaters to increase his own chances of buying a ticket on opening day. In another, Jason remarks about Celine's parent record company, Sony Music Entertainment, foisting malware on anyone who tries to play the company's CDs in a computer in an anti-piracy measure.

* MedalOfDishonor: In 1990, she won "Best English Speaking Artist" in Felix Award (the Quebec Grammys). She rejected the award because she felt she has always been a French-speaking artist, not English. This reportedly caused the award name to be changed into "''Quebec Artist Achieving Most Success in A Language Other Than French''".

* PowerBallad: Most of her discography in the 1990s (at least in English). She became more or less the most prominent power ballad performing after the reigning king of the genre (Music/MichaelBolton) declined in popularity at the end of the decade.

* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Nickels Bar and Grill, a chain of restaurants in Quebec co-founded and formerly co-owned by Céline, offers a six-layer chocolate cake (ice cream and hot fudge optional) based on a recipe Céline loved as a child. The cake is even named after her.

[[BreakthroughHit Gained full mainstream attention]] when she sang two movie themes, "Because You Loved Me" (from ''Up Close and Personal'') and "My Heart Will Go On" (''Film/{{Titanic 1997}}'').

Born in [[UsefulNotes/{{Quebec}} Quebec]], ''the'' Canadian province whose [[EverythingSoundsSexierInFrench majority of populace speak French]]. Thus, she spent her early years speaking and singing French. Met her future husband, music manager René Angélil in 1981, who remained her manager ever since (although he officially stepped down as his health deteriorated).

* ArcNumber: 3:20, taken from her old song ''Trois heures vingt'' (''Twenty minutes past three''), which is stated to be René Angélil's favorite song. So this song was played during his funeral, her video ''Encore Un Soir'' (''One more night'') shows a clock at 3:20, a remastered ''Trois Heures Vingt'' is included in her ''Encore Un Soir'' album (complete with a fresh lyrics video), and Céline sang that song in some her concerts after René's death.

** CoveredUp: Some of her covers outfamed the originals, such as ''The Power Of Love'' (from Jennifer Rush), ''It's All Coming Back to Me Now'' (from Pandora's Box), ''All By Myself'' (from Music/EricCarmen), and ''If You Asked Me To'' (from Patti La Belle). So much so, that many people tend to mistakenly attribute those songs to having been originally sung by her.

* LargeHam: She's not as overblown as Music/MariahCarey, but given her pechant for an IncrediblyLongNote, Celine gets quite passionate. Just witness her [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hFDHryC6Vwg#t=50s imitating other singers...]]

* PimpedOutDress: A couple in her videos, with the one in ''Immortality'' being a stand-out.

* RhymesOnADime: Her French song ''Attendre'' is chock-full of this.

* TruckDriversGearChange: The number of songs she has sung ''without'' this probably doesn't reach double digit.

* PowerBallad: Most of her discography in the 1990s. She became more or less the most prominent power ballad performing after the reigning king of the genre (MichaelBolton) declined in popularity at the end of the decade.

** Like her contemporaries MichaelBolton and BarbraStreisand, Dion is frequently the target of jokes, both in Canada and the U.S., as an example of providing "terrible" music, due mostly for her propensity for ballads and the ubiquity of hits such as "My Heart Will Go On".

[[BreakthroughHit Gained full mainstream attention]] when she sang "My Heart Will Go On" for the film ''Film/{{Titanic 1997}}''.

* AwardBaitSong: It started with ''Disney/BeautyAndTheBeast'', and she went on to sing a few more, winning some Grammys (such as ''Because You Loved Me'') and Oscars (''My Heart Will Go On'') along the way.
* BathtubScene: In ''Misled''.

* TheCoverChangesTheMeaning: There was once a song by Jean Jacques Goldman called ''Puisque tu pars'', which is basically the [[TearJerker tearjerking]] complaint of a parent who sees their child leave them to experience life in the outside world. Then Céline decided to [[TranslatedCoverVersion sing it in English]], with lyrics that have [[TheCoverChangesTheMeaning nothing to do with the original's]]. You might know her version as ''Let's Talk About Love''.

* IncrediblyLongNote: Very common. Listen to ''If You Asked Me To'', ''The Power Of Love'', ''All By Myself'' and ''My Heart Will Go On'' for some examples.
